The Lord God wanted to say something else to him, but Fu Zhiyu could no longer listen. He felt his ears buzzing.
Why did he do that
Fu Zhiyu couldn't figure it out.
He tried hard to recall the last time he saw Xie Ke. His memory of that night was actually very vague. He only remembered that one hug and the two words "I love you", nothing more.
He thought that this was the end of him and Xie Ke, and it was also the best ending he felt at the time. They both let go of each other, and when they met again in the future, they would just smile at each other at most.
Forgetting each other in the world is also a kind of perfection.
But now that these things have been revealed, everything has changed. Looking back on that seemingly peaceful ending, it actually has a lot of inexplicable meanings.
At this time, Fu Zhiyu really wanted to meet Xie Ke and ask him what he was thinking and why he did this.
But there was one thing he couldn't say. He couldn't tell Xie Ke that he didn't need to do this. If Xie Ke hadn't acted on his own initiative this time, he wouldn't even have the chance to stand here.
The Lord God left at some point, perhaps because he saw that Fu Zhiyu didn't seem to be listening at all, and thought it was useless to say anything, so he left.
The time here is long enough for him to think.
Fu Zhiyu always thought that he was a very open-minded person. Because of his complicated experiences, he could always let go easily of things that others had done to him, such as Shen Yang and Xie Ke before.
He can let go of others' wrongdoings to him, but he cannot let go of himself letting others down. In other words, Fu Zhiyu doesn't like to owe others.
He has only a few regrets and owes to people, and he tries every possible means to make up for them. If others treat him well with all their heart, he will repay them with something even better, no matter if they are relatives or friends.
But he and Xie Ke could no longer make up. Before Fu Zhiyu knew all this, he could still say that their two lives were reversed and complemented each other. Generally speaking, no one owed anyone anything, but it was all wishful thinking. But after this incident, he could no longer say that they owed each other nothing.
Why did Xie Ke and I end up like this
It's not that Fu Zhiyu hasn't seen other people's love. Sister Yuan Xi and her husband have always been in love, from falling in love, getting married to staying together. Even if the couple sometimes quarrel in the middle, it can be seen that the two people respect and love each other.
Other people's love was peaceful and happy, and it sounded sweet when they thought about it, but he couldn't understand why when it came to the two of them, it was like a tangled ball of wool.
Fu Zhiyu didn't know how long he had been thinking alone. The past between him and Xie Ke ran through his mind like a kaleidoscope.
Whenever he thought of Xie Ke before, he always had some unhappy memories, but when he thought about it now, those sad memories were still there, but there were more that made him feel differently.
There was that night when the two of them walked together on the deserted street, with two lanterns without words floating along the water. There was also that time when they met him at the canal digging site, with a face covered in dust that could not be wiped clean. Or maybe even longer ago, he carefully climbed over the wall into the palace, and familiarly avoided Rongrong. When she got there, she didn't dare to get too close to him. She just stood there, looking at him foolishly.
When you hate someone, everything he does is wrong, but when your mood changes and you recall these things, you will have different feelings.
Before he and Xie Ke, they had experienced everything, the ups and downs.
But in the end, they still got separated.
Fu Zhiyu didn't have much time left alone, and the world consciousness came to find him not long after.
Fu Zhiyu also felt at this time where the "difference" that the Lord God said was. It was difficult for the Lord God to communicate with the world consciousness. Each time, there were only a few words. He also received so many things explained to him intermittently. It took a long time to know everything.
But the communication between Fu Zhiyu and the world consciousness was very smooth, without any barriers.
The first time he felt world consciousness was when he felt a force pulling on his cheek during the recollection process.
Fu Zhiyu hissed and touched the piece of flesh on his face that was pulled.
"What?"
"I am the World Consciousness." He heard a deep voice coming to his ears, "This is the first time I see you, so I'll give it a try."
Try what
Fu Zhiyu covered her cheeks. Does the world think that she is dough? Can she be pinched whenever she wants
"When can you start working?" The world consciousness pretended nothing had happened and started to get to the point. "There are many things you need to do."
Fu Zhiyu: “…”
He was speechless for a moment. His world consciousness had no entity. There was nothing in front of him. He could only smile bitterly and sigh; "Do you think I can still help you?"
"Why not?" The World Consciousness was very puzzled. "I have observed your actions in the world of leaving a name in history. You have some ideas, drive and enthusiasm. Many of them are similar to what I told you. Shouldn't you like it and think it is meaningful?"
"So you wanted to delete me before?"
"What if you don't obey?" The World Consciousness argued confidently, and felt that he was right. "You are fine now."
Fu Zhiyu: “…”
He didn't want to talk and turned his back.
"It's useless for you to do this. I'm everywhere," the world consciousness reminded him, "Don't get upset."
Fu Zhiyu resisted passively and didn't want to pay attention to him.
He didn't get along with the world consciousness, but in the end, he agreed to the world consciousness's job requirements.
Just because of his words: "In this world, anything can happen. What the Lord God says is not absolute, but whether you can do it or not depends entirely on you. If you do nothing and understand nothing like you, then it is impossible."
Xie Ke also tried every possible means to get him back.
"Do you have the same feelings towards him?" asked the World Consciousness. "But you can't be as crazy as him and refuse to listen to reason. If you are like that, it will be very detrimental to your work."
Fu Zhiyu: "I won't."
He was silent for a while before answering the first question.
"Actually, I can't explain it clearly," he said, "so I have to find him. Xie Ke... has to answer me personally."
Putting everything aside, the world consciousness’s ideas about changing the world are actually quite interesting.
"I wrote the words on the cover of the actor's manual," said the world consciousness. "I deeply love all the worlds, so I think that at this moment, what is more important than 100% restoration is respect. Respect all the characters in the original work."
Fu Zhiyu helped him change the existing rules for actors little by little. There was no longer a rigid and stereotyped points system, and the scoring was more flexible.
"If the characters in the world change, without damaging the foundation of the world, don't force it back according to the original work, and respect their development," said the world consciousness. "You reap what you sow. Everyone has their own destiny. The protagonists played by most actors always make the world they live in better. Even in a tragic world, there are personal ups and downs and growth. I really hope that everyone in the world can have their own life, whether it is good or bad, and should not be shackled by the original work."
Ultimately, world consciousness hopes that there will be no more actors in this world, and that all worlds will be free worlds.
But this world has basic operating rules. The protagonist of a world is the son of destiny. If something happens to the protagonist, the world will collapse, so the actor is needed to save the situation. The idea of world consciousness is still an unattainable wish.
Compared with the previous practice of requiring every line of dialogue to conform to the original work, this method of judgment is more complicated, mainly because it is difficult to grasp the "degree", and the difficulty of the task is greatly increased for the actor.
This also resulted in the actor organization no longer being as strong as before. Now that the mission has changed greatly, everyone is focusing on the mission, so they don't have the energy to cause trouble. This, at least, makes the Lord God very happy.
Fu Zhiyu is now one level higher than the main god. Strictly speaking, he is the real main god, but he does not take care of daily affairs and usually does not show up. Most of the work is still done by the original main gods. Fu Zhiyu has no intention of competing with him, and other systems still call him "Zhiyu".
The actors secretly called him a devil, and after knowing that he was Xie Ke's desperate target, the actors had even more respect for the former actor who disappeared.
What kind of strong person can fall in love with an unreasonable workaholic devil like Fu Zhiyu
Awesome.
Fu Zhiyu was still single. For a while, he thought about finding his mother and the others, but was rejected by the world consciousness.
"No matter what, they are just ordinary data and cannot be transferred to the system space. If you force them to come here, they will be automatically deleted as abnormal data. Not everyone is as special as you," the world consciousness explained, "but in those worlds, all data has reincarnation. You can think of it as reincarnation. The data that has eaten your blood will be more or less different. You don't have to worry about them having a bad life."
Fu Zhiyu also went to check secretly, and found that the people he cared about were doing very well, which made him feel a little relieved.
Now, the only regret in his heart was probably Xie Ke's. Even after going through so much, he still didn't figure it out.
Fu Zhiyu had heard Xie Ke say before that he still loved him deeply after many, many years, but he was half-believing it at that time.
He roughly felt it now. So much time had passed and he had experienced a lot, but he still wanted to see Xie Ke and remembered the words of the world consciousness.
After many twists and turns, Xie Ke still became a knot in his heart.
For many feelings, time will only make them deeper, not make them obsolete.
But Fu Zhiyu never worried about life or death. He just lived peacefully. Sometimes, when the Lord God asked him questions, he would smile calmly.
"He will come back and explain it to me clearly," Fu Zhiyu said, "If he really loves me as much as he says, he won't be willing to leave me alone."
The Lord God remained silent.
There is no time in this system space, and Fu Zhiyu didn't know how long he had been working. When he had almost finished all the work assigned to him by the world consciousness, the only things left were patches for abnormal situations and daily maintenance, and he suddenly became idle.
Fu Zhiyu can't sit still now. When he is idle, he tends to think too much.
"Just one more thing," the world consciousness came to him, "recently there is a world where the mission has been completed, but it has not been transformed into a free world. It is stuck there, unable to move up or down. The actor has been ejected, and his mission reward has been settled. In the absence of a mission, other actors cannot enter either. After thinking about it, I think you are the only one.
You are free now anyway, why not go and take a look. After all, you are half a performer. You haven't been to other worlds for such a long time."
Fu Zhiyu refused on the spot: "I won't go, you can handle it yourself, I don't want to be a role player."
Fu Zhiyu didn't even want to touch his half-actor identity, or even the mountain of points and props that Xie Ke left for him.
"No, this is work," the World Consciousness said righteously, "Zhi Yuguai, you have to be obedient."
Fu Zhiyu: "...Don't talk to me in such a disgusting tone."
Perhaps the world consciousness also heard the Lord God's strange statement about him being the "child of the world consciousness". Fu Zhiyu did not take it seriously. He only recognized his own mother. The world consciousness accepted it very smoothly and even felt that it made a lot of sense.
So sometimes when Fu Zhiyu talked to it, he was really annoyed by its strange tone and wanted to fight with it, but he was troubled by the fact that the world consciousness had no entity.
